“Most recently, $40,000 in U.S. currency was seized in an overnight operation targeting a Mexico-bound car the night of Sept. 23.”

In another major development, the increasing deadly violence against Americans on our own soil is of great concern to residents in our border states. Michelle Malkin reports that as TV personality Stephen Colbert appeared before the Democrat-controlled Congress to make a mockery of the push to stop illegal immigration, the citizens who actually live in the area are dead-serious about the problem. The reason? Their lives are at stake.

Malkin posts a letter to Colbert written by the aunt of a young U.S. citizen who was gunned down by an illegal alien:

“Dear Stephen Colbert,

“In preparing this open letter to you, I am literally fighting back the tears! It truly breaks my heart that so many people in positions of power and authority continue to make light of illegal immigration!

“Are you aware of, and/or concerned with the fact, that American citizens and legal immigrants are murdered everyday by illegal aliens? Have you ever spent one second thinking about that?

“In speaking to Congress today, do you think you would have prepared anything different if one of your love ones was murdered by an illegal alien? You think you would make fun of this illegal alien invasion if you lost a loved one to this crime?

“What if your mother was shot in the head by an illegal alien? Do you think you could make that funny? What about your children? Would it be comical if your daughter or your son or your niece or nephew was lying in the street dead, shot in the head, by someone living in this country illegally?” (Excerpt).

[…] Would it be comical if your daughter or your son or your niece or nephew was lying in the street dead? 3 10 2010 Would it be comical if your daughter or your son or your niece or nephew was lying in the street dea…. […]

Mexico ignored the corruption of its legal system and the growing power of the drug lords for far too long, resulting in the open warfare and murderous assaults that plague that country today. It is incomprehensible how the U.S. government can ignore the pleas for safety of our citizens from these criminal, foreign elements, while giving credence to the idiot proclamations of the “television personality(s)” such as Stephen Colbert.

Time to turn the troops loose along the border and let them do their job of protecting America.

I don’t understand why the Gov of Arizona doesn’t call for civilian militia volunteers from across the country to gather together and organize Border Patrols and sweeps of areas like that National Park South of Phoenix etc. to forcibly remove the illegal invaders.

I’d could be down there in 2 days max with my own weapons, ammo and survival gear etc.

All I need is legitimacy from the Governor.

Texas should consider such a scenario also. Seems there’s a problem in a lake along the border which could benefit from civilian militia involvement too!
